MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, May 6, 2010 – TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announced its first Global Symposium in Korea focused on the company’s broad range of process technologies and design enablement capabilities. The one-day event will include a keynote from TowerJazz CEO, Russell Ellwanger as well as presentations by other company executives. The sessions will center on the latest technical advances in areas such as integrated power management platforms, non-volatile memory (NVM), RF SiGe applications, current trends in imaging technology, and design enablement tools, among others.
“I am excited to speak to the Korean semiconductor design community to share our technology offerings and our leading design kits that enable best-in-class performance for a variety of consumer applications,” said Russell Ellwanger, Tower CEO. “The Korean region is home to many highly skilled IC designers and industry leading semiconductor companies, among which we have and continue to develop strong business partners. The numerous customer press releases of recent months are evidence of the traction and technical high regard we are receiving in Korea. This symposium will be attended by over 40 Korean companies and will highlight our breadth and depth of specialty offerings specifically highlighting our power, high end RF, and image sensor technology platforms. We will also introduce highly differentiated NVM offerings which are being used as additional enablers for applications within our Power and RF platforms.”
